Adventure camps for all ages at Marchants Hill

We’ve learned that children get the most from their PGL adventure when they’re with kids their own age, which is why at Marchants Hill we split our kids’ camps into three main age groups. Not only do children feel more confident and relaxed around same-age peers, it means their adventure will be perfectly tailored to suit their ability, offering age-appropriate excitement, challenges and activities to provide maximum enjoyment from their Marchants Hill holiday.

Our overlapping age ranges give you the option to choose the best group for your child if they are sitting at the upper/lower age limit.
